Practicing Success
A planet moves around the sun. At a given point P, it is closed from the sun at a distance d1 and has a speed v1 . At another point Q. when it is farthest from the sun at a distance d2, its speed will be : |
\(\frac{d^2_1 v_1}{d^2_2}\) \(\frac{d_2 v_1}{d_1}\) \(\frac{d_1 v_1}{d_2}\) \(\frac{d^2_2 v_1}{d_1}\) |
\(\frac{d_1 v_1}{d_2}\) |
According to law of conservation of angular momentum : \(m v_1 d_1 = m v_2 d_2\) \(v_2 = \frac{d_1 v_1}{d_2}\) |
